How a PrO.Siavery Preacher
Was Put TO Flight.

Robert Purvis, one of the founders
and many years the President of the
Anti.Slavery Society, in reminiscent
mood yesterday said: "During slavery
days Wendell Phillips lectured one even.

Methodist ministers held a conference.
The preachers were on the same train
with Phillips. One Of the ministers, a
big clustering fellow, inquired in loud
voice if Wendell Phillips was on the
train.
"sYes, sir; there he is answered the
conductor, pointing to the great Aboli.
ZIONIST, who sat quietly in the rear Of
the car.
"The inquiry naturally excited great
deal of interest, and everybody in the
car turned around to take o look at the
man then SO much talked about.
"'You're Wendell Phillips, are you?
yelled the minister, half turning in his
seat.
"Yes, sir; that is my name,' replied
Phillips. with characteristic blandness of
voice.
"Well, sir, I was just about writing
you letter.
Indeed; l should no doubt nave
had great pleasure in reading it.
"'No, you wouldn't! No,you wouldn't!
I was going to givs you some sound ad-

LADY WORKERS AT THE POLLS Tennessee Sees an Interesting Battle to

Tennessee Sees an Interesting Battle to Secure Prohibition.
 NASHVILLE, Sept. 29.-The election to-day was on the adoption of an amendment to the constitution prohibiting the manufacture or sale for use as a beverage of intox- icating liquors. It passed off quietly all over the State. In Nashville and Davinson counties it was the most remarka- ble election ever held. The feature of it was the presence of ladies at the polls working and pleaning with voters to cast their ballots for the amendments Lunches with hot cof- fee were set at all the polling places and whenever man presented himself to vote the anti ticket he was surrounded by the ladies, prayed with, and if very stubborn
 prayed for and regaled with sacred songs. The voters showed universal respect for the ladies and there is no doubt that to their presence is due the cutting down of The Amhrican has figures which indicate that the amendment has been defeathd by from 10000 to 15,000. The antis claim 25,- 900 majority.
 CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 29.-Ladies took an active part in the election to-day and in all the polls with free lunch stands and personally solicited the voters. At every booth there was lavish display of banners, among them being "Vote for God, Home and Tennessee to-day"; "Vote for Mother, Wife and Sister; they have no defense, save your ballot" 'The women and children of Tennessee appeal to the manhood of State, ''Yes, today" etc., etc. The ladies were everywhere treated with respect. During the morning prayer meetings were held at the churches. At Athens, where the vote was counted and it was ascertained that major ity of 120 was obtained for prohibition, all the ward workers bowed their heads and sang the doxology.

NO RACE YESTERDAY.

Wind and Weather Permitting 1t Xvill
 be Sailed To-Day.
 SANDY Hook, N. J., Sept. 29.-The day for the second of the races between the Vol unteer and Thistle was dismal and disagree able. Fog and rain contributed to make the day a most undesirable one. The wind was light and it was apparent early in the day that no race would take place. As the morning wore along a breeze sprang up, and it revived the droop- ing spirits of the yachtsmen who predicted that it would sterdily increase and soon dis pei the fog. The men on board the Thistle evidently shared this belief and in anticipa- tion of strong blow and heavy sea her crew were set to work shipping some of the ballast aft far enough to raise her bow several inches. All the davits and movable deck furnishings were sent ashore to tighten the vessel. In fact she was stripped for the race like a race horse. The jib topsail has been thor oughly overhauled by the sail makers and loosened so as to free it's leach. This is the most noteworthy change made in her rigging. Both boats were ready. but as the fog would not lift nor the wind increase the race was declared off for the day. If wind and wea- ther permit the race will take place to- morrow.

stimulate the Blood.

BRANDRErH's PILLS are the great blood purifier. They are O purgative and blood tonic. They act equally on the bowels, the kidneys and the skin, thus cleansing the sys- tenn by the natural outlet of the body. They may be called the purgstive sudori6c and di- uretic medicine. They stimulate the blood so as to enable nature to throw off all nor bid humors and cure disease, no matter by what name it may be called. One or two of them taken every night will prove an in- fallibie remedy.

IN THE CIVIL SERVICE.
An Interesting Test of the Law i'm
 Massachusetts.

Massachusetts.
 BOSTON, Sept. 29.-Attorney General Sher- man is about to begin suit to enforce the civil service law in this State. The suit grows out of the action of the Mayor of Haverhil1 in the appointment of 8 patrolman on the police force. He made requisition for such on the board of civil service examiners. The list was made out with the names of the nine highest applications with the relative stand ing of each. Of the last two J. L. Webster, standing second, and 0. H. Davis. standing sixth, had served in the army or navy and the fact was SO indicated and Webster was enti tied to the preference in the appointment to the office as provided by the law. The May or, however. nominated for the place and the board of aldermen confirmed H. O. Hill, whose standing was third. The attorney general calls the attention of the court to the fact that the appointment was illegal and will press suit on the point. The papers were filed to-day in Salem. The case will raise 8 very interesting question. The Mayer and aldermen hold that the veteran was not fitted for the place of patrolman. But the question is whether they have any discretion in such matters or must take what the board gives them.

The Examining Physicians All Re-
 port Him Fit to be Removed.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton, who went to Ludlow street jail to examine Jacob Sharp, reported to the dis trict attorney that MT. Sharp refused to be examined, pushed the doctor away with force," got into bed, covered himself up and said he would rather go to Sing Sing than submit to any more medical examinations. Dr. Hamilton had to content himself with 8 partial test of the pulse and heart and esti- mate the temperature. From these and the general appearance and action of the patient he was of the opinion that Mir. Sharps condi- tion was no worse than it was several months ago and that his removal to Sing Sing would not endanger his life. Dr. Fowler, who was appointed by Judge Van Brunt to examine Mir. Sharp, reported to the sheriff that the prisoner was in fit condition to be removed. Dr. Janeway, who assisted Dr. Fowler in the examination, agreed with his colleagues re- port The sheriff has directed the removal to be made to-morrow. Notice of an appeal to the Court of Appeals in the case of Jacob Sharp from the judgment of the general term affirming the judgment of the Oyer and Terminer was filed in the New York county clerks office to-day

Scarcity of Coal.

The price of coal went up to $7 in Meriden yesterday, which is 50 cents more than is paid by consumers in this city. The dealers in Meriden have not got large stock on hand, and prospects of coal famine are becoming serious. Coal is a dollar higher than it was in this city, $6.50 for stove sizes, and everybody in town seems seized with g simultaneous desire to have their coal supply for the winter delivered at once, judging from the great activity at the coal yards. The strike at the mines is the cause of the scarcity.
